Abstract

The National Accreditation Recognition (NAR) Committee establishes a process and criteria to recognize national occupational hygiene associations who offer certification examinations for the profession. The goal is to promote global respect for and recognition of Occupational Hygiene Certification Programs which meet or exceed the IOHA Model Certification Program requirements. Although some preliminary guidance is provided to potential applicants on the NAR Committee webpage, the development of required procedures and documents can be a daunting endeavor. This session will provide a guideline or template for proposed policies and programs that can be used as a model or roadmap for organizations considering the creation of a certification exam and program. Even members of national credentialing organizations who are already NAR Committee recognized can benefit by attending this topical session where innovations and new methodologies for examination and program implementation will be presented and discussed.

28 IOHA 国家评审认可认证计划开发模板和指南

国家认证认可（NAR）委员会制定了一套程序和标准，对提供职业认证考试的国家职业卫生协会进行认可。其目的是促进全球对达到或超过 IOHA 示范认证计划要求的职业卫生认证计划的尊重和认可。虽然 NAR 委员会的网页上为潜在申请者提供了一些初步指导，但制定必要的程序和文件可能是一项艰巨的工作。本次会议将为建议的政策和计划提供指导或模板，可作为考虑创建认证考试和计划的组织的范本或路线图。即使是已经获得 NAR 委员会认可的国家认证组织成员，也可以通过参加本专题会议获益，本专题会议将介绍和讨论考试和计划实施的创新和新方法。

期刊介绍： About the Journal Annals of Work Exposures and Health is dedicated to presenting advances in exposure science supporting the recognition, quantification, and control of exposures at work, and epidemiological studies on their effects on human health and well-being. A key question we apply to submission is, "Is this paper going to help readers better understand, quantify, and control conditions at work that adversely or positively affect health and well-being?" We are interested in high quality scientific research addressing: the quantification of work exposures, including chemical, biological, physical, biomechanical, and psychosocial, and the elements of work organization giving rise to such exposures; the relationship between these exposures and the acute and chronic health consequences for those exposed and their families and communities; populations at special risk of work-related exposures including women, under-represented minorities, immigrants, and other vulnerable groups such as temporary, contingent and informal sector workers; the effectiveness of interventions addressing exposure and risk including production technologies, work process engineering, and personal protective systems; policies and management approaches to reduce risk and improve health and well-being among workers, their families or communities; methodologies and mechanisms that underlie the quantification and/or control of exposure and risk. There is heavy pressure on space in the journal, and the above interests mean that we do not usually publish papers that simply report local conditions without generalizable results. We are also unlikely to publish reports on human health and well-being without information on the work exposure characteristics giving rise to the effects. We particularly welcome contributions from scientists based in, or addressing conditions in, developing economies that fall within the above scope.
